The message of the comic strip is that democracy doesn’t guarantee the best results.

Even if I don’t vote to kill me, everyone else can vote to kill me.

I just want them to explain what they mean by that :3

I don’t get the joke :(

LMAA,AAAO I’m adopting the long word seperator

Drinking TWO THINGS is UNNATURAL GOD gave us ONE MOUTH HOLE for a REASON

I always have a huge thing of water and something sugary. sometimes an energy drink, too. It’s getting colder here, so I’ll probably start keeping some tea around for when I get cold.

Can you elaborate on this?

So you argue we should work to replace football with “football” over time, making the game more safe until it has your (dis) approval?

I daresay no one thought we needed a law against cutting a hole in the wall of a school bathroom. I certainly didn’t have it on my bingo card for this month.

“The only thing in a city is drugs”

Oh, okay. Thank you for explaining. I was a little freaked out.

Had that worked on me instead, it would have been pretty funny.

Szeth what in the FUCK is that link. My dumb ass clicked on it because it looked like an Amazon link but I got a pop-up and some permission request and dude what the fuck.

Big doubt that’s a legit link. DRM is just scary lol

ha, gotem

Maybe look up atheism then try correcting your own comment instead of theirs :)

In all seriousness, I think your definitions are a few centuries out of date. It’s been drifting toward meaning a-gnostic instead of undecided. Contemporarily, it’s used to explain one’s believed level of knowledge on a claim. I can, for instance, be agnostic toward plate tectonics, and be made gnostic of them by evidence.

“Too many. Take it back.”

Hmm yes, very wise.

“Why! Do users! Dislike! The use! Of emojis! On Lemmy!?”

Overused, they’re just so tiring too read. I think, if you’re gonna go that hard, just full send hieroglyphics and drop the text aspect.

As someone who didn’t their formative years reading a lot more than taking, I also certainly pronounce a bunch of words wrong. It’s always the pretentious ones, too, like pretentious, because people so rarely use them in speech.

Anyway, if enough of us pronounce them wrong together, it’ll be the right people who are wrong!

I choose to believe no one is this particularly misinformed.

It’s really funny bait, though

Yeah, you basically nailed it. Trans healthcare for minors , if such a term would need defining would be the reduction of of permanent changes brought on by puberty. Generally, adults who started taking puberty blockers as a kid can either stop taking them later and have a (very likely mostly) normal puberty, or they can start pursuing more permanent changes, like hormone therapy.

A good chunk of the ‘debate’ is trying to separate normal people into ‘not trans’ and ‘lesser.’ What we want is really just comprehensive healthcare- same rules for everyone.

To your last point: trans-affirming surgeries have a vastly lower regret rate than most cosmetic surgeries, which is a very good reason to allow trans adults to choose to pursue them. The people passing these laws want a lower class. at no point does “protect trans children” ever come up in earnest.

Lmao the irony “I didn’t find their style or content particularly edificatious.” My partener in christ you are the unedificatious one!
